The cure is...

[Munira S.]

Beloved = God in His loving aspect

***
Never lose hope
If the Beloved pushes you away
If He shuts the door on you, don’t go,
Be patient and wait!
It is your patience that will
Draw Him back.
If He blocks all your roads,
Be sure
He will show you a secret way
Unknown to others.

***
“The cure is in the pain”

If you befriend the Beloved
You will never be lonely.
If you learn to be flexible
You will never be helpless.
The moon shines because it
Does not escape the night.
The rose is scented because it
Has embraced the thorn…

***
Do not look back, my friend,
No one knows how the world began.
Do not fear the future; nothing lasts forever.
If you dwell on the past or the future,
You will miss the moment…
